ABSTRACT:
An exemplary floor module suitable for inclusion in the modular floor assembly comprises a support and an overlaying floor sheet. The support includes a support leading edge portion, a support trailing edge portion, and a floor support portion disposed therebetween. The support leading edge portion attaches to the cutter bar of a header. The support trailing edge portion includes a first resilient projection, and the floor support portion includes a second resilient projection. The floor sheet includes a floor sheet leading edge portion, a floor sheet trailing edge portion, and a substantially planar floor portion disposed therebetween. The first resilient projection and the floor sheet trailing edge portion define a trailing slot configured to receive a header frame projection. The second resilient projection and the substantially planar floor portion define a side slot configured to receive a side edge portion of an adjacent floor module.
